Global regulation Tomorrow Plus: AI mini-series Ep 5 – AI and blockchains

In the latest episode of our Global Regulation Tomorrow Plus mini-series on artificial intelligence in financial services, host Simon Lovegrove is joined by Professor Peter McBurney to explore the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology, examining how distributed ledgers can provide the transparency, and accountability needed when AI agents operate autonomously in financial transactions. The discussion touches on supply chain finance and smart contracts governing agent behaviour. This episode is a valuable primer for board members who may not be familiar with AI, helping to demystify the technology and equip decision-makers with the understanding they need to oversee its responsible adoption.
